About 2 miles from home, my 71 2800cs gas pedal fell flat to the floor and was not coming back up. Engine still running at idle and no other apparent problems. Pulled into a convenient parking space and saw the throttle linkage dangling down but still attached at the firewall end. Fished it out with a coat hanger from a nearby retail store and pressed back in place onto the nub/ball on the sprung L-shape bracket completing the linkage to the carbs.
No further problems, but it does pop off very easily.
Is there more to the linkage attachment? If so, seems there is excessive wear on the ball and/or socket. Easy to replace?
Thanks
